WBBJ 7 Forecast Update:

We were a little too warm for frost Tuesday morning in Jackson but there appears to be a better chance Monday morning with clear skies and calm winds. We should fall into the mid 30s to start our Wednesday and a few locations in West Tennessee could even see a freeze.

There also looks to be some storms coming back on Thursday. Overall the severe weather threat looks low but there could be a couple storms producing some hail and gusty winds. We will have the latest on the frost chances, the river levels and the timing of the potential storms on Thursday right here.

THIS WEEK:

After picking up over a foot of rain in many places in West Tennessee from Wednesday evening through Sunday morning last week, we are looking mostly dry this week across the region besides Thursday. The heavy rains caused rivers, creeks and streams to run very high and they should remain that way for a few more days this week as the water runs downstream. The next chance for rain and storms is coming on Thursday, but it doesn’t look like much in the rain department and overall the severe weather threat is low.

Skies remained clear Monday night and the cool breeze coming in out of the northwest likely is what kept the frost away. Overnight lows will fell into the upper 30s . Highs on Tuesday were not very high and only reached the mid 50s. Skies were sunny though and those winds stayed out of the north keeping the temperature down. We could be even colder Tuesday night with some areas, especially in our northern counties, could see a freeze. Another frost advisory is in effect tonight and with the winds likely becoming calm at times, frost seems likely for some of us.

The warm up will start on Wednesday with highs making it back up to around 70°. The main reason we will be warming up will be due to the winds changing back from the north to south early in the day. We will see some clouds returning late in the day but we should stay dry on Wednesday. There could be a few showers returning late Wednesday night but there appears to be a better shot for rain and storms on Thursday. Wednesday night lows will fall down to the low 50s to kick off our Thursday. Thursday highs will reach the mid 70s but there will be plenty of clouds and some spotty showers early and a evening storm threat as well. The greatest severe weather concerns appear to be hail and winds right now with the storms that do develop. We will keep an eye on things as the storms develop. We are currently under a marginal risk (1/5) for severe storms.

A front will pass late Thursday and that will cool things down some as we wrap up the work week. As of Thursday night, the winds will shift from the west during the day to the northwest overnight. Clouds will stick around for the most part Thursday night and break up some during the day on Friday. Friday morning we will start in the mid 40s but reach the mid 60s by Friday evening. Friday night will be a little cool and we should drop down to around 40° to kick off our weekend.

THE WEEKEND:

The weather doesn’t look too bad this weekend across West Tennessee and we will NOT be dodging thunderstorms or severe weather. In fact, it looks like a dry weekend but it will be a cool start for the most part. After starting Saturday around 40° in morning, highs will reach the low 60s into the afternoon. Expect mostly sunny skies on Saturday and expect a sunny day for the most part on Sunday. The winds will come out of the north on Saturday before transitioning back to the southeast Sunday afternoon. The southeast winds will warm us back up into the mid 70s on Sunday. Sunday night will be warm, humid and a bit breezy with lows falling to the upper 50s to kick off next week.
